Master Builders are members of the Master Builders Association and they can be builders of residential homes, high-rise commercial properties or multi-residential developments. They can also be renovators or additions specialists, Subcontractors like Brickies, Tilers or Roof Plumbers or even Suppliers and consultants like surveyors and steel manufacturers.
